Cairo, March 13 (QNA) – Egypt on Thursday expressed its appreciation for US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding not demanding Palestinian residents to leave Gaza, saying they reflect an understanding of the need to avoid a worsening humanitarian situation.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement said Trump’s position expresses his “understanding of the necessity of working towards finding just and sustainable solutions for the Palestinian cause.” Egypt emphasized the importance of building on this “positive approach to advance efforts for peace in the Middle East through adopting a comprehensive path based on a clear vision that ensures stability and security for all parties.” The foreign ministry also called for building on Trump’s global peace initiative to fulfill the Palestinian people’s rights and establish a Palestinian state.
Egypt said it believes that Trump’s initiative to end international conflicts and establish peace, including in the Middle East, can serve as a practical framework for collaborative efforts.
The ministry emphasized the necessity that these efforts support the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to establish an independent state along the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
